To a certain extent yes ... the way XC works is that you build a
profile that let's say converts the line G81 X--- Y--- Z--- etc. to
whatever you want perhaps G45 U--- W--- Z--- etc.. Users can create
an unlinted number of profiles and in the profile tell the software
what to convert into what. Currently it can only convert one line
into one line but the next version (early winter) will be a more
powerful version with multi-line capabilities and more options
designed from input from current users.

The point of this post is that the IJK issue that you mention has
been resolved to convert the standard R output into INCREMENTAL IJK
and even ABSOLUTE IJK ... allowing the issue you mention to go
away ... and we not only addressed that issue but provided additional
flexibility through the design of KipwareXC package.

I should also mention that XC will handle both milling and turning
issues ... all in one package.
